Salvia nemorosa Dark Matter (Meadow Sage)

Compact, clump-forming salvia with deep violet-purple flower spikes held on dark stems in late spring and early summer. Responds well to shearing after bloom, often reblooming for extended color. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soils and is highly attractive to bees and other pollinators.
